Album:
Lucky
I played the fool today
I just dream of vanishing 
into the crowd
Longing for home again
Home, is a feeling I buried in you


I'm alright, I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe


And I can't ask for things to be still again
No I can't ask if I could walk 
through the world in your eyes
Longing for home again
Home, is a feeling I buried in you


I'm alright, I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
I'm alright, I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe


My window through which nothing hides
And everything sees
I'm counting the signs 
and cursing the miles in between


Home
Home, is a feeling I buried in you, that I buried in you


I'm alright, I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe
I'm alright, I'm alright
It only hurts when I breathe, 
when I breathe
Yeah, it only hurts when I breathe, 
when I breathe
Oh,it only hurts when I breathe
